Transcript Excerpts From Kardashian Family Part One, Sunday, June 17:

Excerpt: Oprah Winfrey asks Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and Rob how they respond to those who say their mother is pimping her children.

OPRAH: What do you say to people, and you've heard it, when people say 'your mother is pimping her children?'

KIM: I think that's so ridiculous because first of all --

ROB: She's our mom.

KIM: -- we have to hire a manager. So regardless, someone is gonna get that. No one will fight harder for you than your own mother. She knows us. She knows all of our moods. Whether, you know, sometimes Khloe and her are like mom, manager, and they go back and forth.

OPRAH: You're very clear on that, though. You don't have to go back and forth? You know the line between mom and manager.

KOURTNEY: They work well, really well.

KIM: We just get each other. We vibe. It works.

OPRAH: Okay.

KIM: So I think no matter what, no one would fight harder than your own mother for you.

OPRAH: So you have never felt exploited by your mother.

KIM: No.

KHLOE: Never.

Excerpt: Kim Kardashian speaks with Oprah Winfrey about growing up over the last few years due to her experiences.

OPRAH: You're growing up.

KIM: I'm totally growing up.

OPRAH: Yeah, it feels like there's a level of maturity that happened with that -

KIM: Completely.

OPRAH: -- experience. The devastation. You were able to pull something else out of it.

KIM: Yeah, and even the people I surround myself with. A lot of my friends are the people that I love to just sit and talk to and spend my time with are wiser, a little bit older than me, where before I used to, you know, all my boyfriends were younger. I always dated five years younger. My whole thing was completely different. And now I just -- I love that I'm with someone that's a couple years older than me. I love that my friends are even sometimes 20, 30 years older than me. That I can just sit and enjoy in their company and their experiences. My life I just -- how Kourtney had this epiphany when she had the baby and she changed into a different person? I feel like I've had an epiphany over the last year for what I've been through and I am that changed person just from my own experiences.

OPRAH: Is Kanye West the new fairytale?
